Hotel Romantic.

[Sparky]

I personally think that Cabot had to make this an adult only hotel because it is no longer linked with the Pollensa Park which is now owned by Fergus. There aren't any child facilities in the Romantic but until now they could use the PollyPark for the pool, play area and entertainment. Maybe this arrangement no longer exists, if so by not accepting child guests they will avoid complaints that there is nothing for kiddies to do.

It is unfair to say the hotel is "anti children", the owners are merely being honest with potential guests.

That's a very good point, Sparky - I'd be pretty annoyed if I booked a holiday for the children and there was no pool…. Though with the beach just over the road, I guess it doesn't really need one, at least as far as adults are concerned.

Hi all

Following this thread with interest. Booked to go to the Romantic end of May. Booked the hotel knowing that it was becoming adult only and was being refurbished via this site. When we booked we were told we could use the PP. Had an email from the tour operator saying this was no longer the case and an option to rebook or cancel with no admin fee or loss of deposit. Not that fussed though as we are more beach people. Stayed at the Bellamar apartments a couple of years ago so we know the area well

Do we have a spy on the ground ? lol. The patio area out front is coming along nicely

For information, we are almost next door and yesterday there were men working inside the Romantic. The patio area is nearly done so my guess is it will be re opening fairly soon.

[GrandPaClanger]

Thanks for the update Tonsyl. However did we manage without the internet

[Tonsyl]

As a PS, there are quite a few men on site this morning, I reckon I saw at least 4 different trades coming and going to the vans outside so I'm even more sure they going to meet the deadline for opening although the outside fascia is still the "old Romantic"

the screens [?] have gone in today...
doesn't look to be as light and airy as the artists impression.

[GrandPaClanger]

Ummm looks a bit odd. Looks like marine ply. Going to be permanently in the shade. Unless they have a trick up their sleeve

Just walked by and the one side they finished looks to be made of a wicker type material, like the old rolled beach mats. Light is let through so it is a sun shade rather than a rain shelter.........not what I expected though!

Looks very strange on the webcam !

Their website doesent look very Hotel like Looks more like offices inside and also strange to have some pics of the old bedrooms ! Hope the finished product will look better !

[Tonsyl]

Cannot comment on the inside but it looks like all the outside doors and windows have been changed and the 9 sea view rooms now all have picture windows, which from a distance, may all be patio type. Having stayed at the Romantic several times, I would be very interested to have a nosey inside and see exactly what they have done.

Same here ! Was badly in need of some TLC !

Is that decking and wooden bonkets going in now under the covers?

[Tonsyl]

Yes, lots of carpentry going on out front. Goes with the rest of the feverish activity going on inside. Cutting it fine for opening tomorrow but I am sure they'll do it.
